“Blue Sky Black Death: Slapbox With Jesus/Rebel To The Grain Paying homage to the music that inspired them, Blue Sky Black Death have used the original source material sampled for some of the Wu-Tang Clan’s seminal recordings to create two original pieces. The first, “Slapbox With Jesus,” captures the frenetic energy of early Wu-Tang singles, layering sample upon sample to create a track that resembles a DJ mix as much as a studio production. “Rebel To The Grain” brings a distinctly downtempo element to the familiar Shaolin sound, as Kingston and Young God build huge horn and organ swells over thick drums. A must for hip-hop fans of any school.”

Wu-Tang Clan’s Inspectah Deck recently addressed Joe Budden’s rap rant towards Method Man and said the entire Wu is supporting Method. “I’m with my niggas, you know what I’m saying,” Deck said in an interview. “I’m guilty by association anyway. You diss one, you diss us all. So I’m living by that. But first of all, I heard him say it wasn’t directed towards the whole Wu, it was directed to Meth, which is still the whole Wu. You can use our name as much as you want to, you can say about Wu, we still legendary, monumental, influential motherfuckers in the game son. Not just here, internationally man. There’s really nothing Joe Buddens could say really to Inspectah Deck to make me want to jump and do anything because personally, my legacy is bigger than his.”
